the big story was all the rain, heavy rains in western mass, parts of vermont. i remember watching the rain gauge in greenfield. we thought it was broken. the river levels rose so quickly. this hurricane started as a tropical storm, became a hurricane. as it moved closer to us, became a tropical storm. it always bring up the point, even a tropical storm can cause tremendous amounts of damage. in this particular case, it wasn't so much the wind b rain. we saw very heavy rainfalls falling just to the left-hand side of the track. what are the tropics doing right now? we've got three systems we're watching. only one is a hurricane. this one we're calling invest 99. we're investigating it. it's not organized. looks like it's headed to the gulf of mexico. that's a place they don't need rain. more moisture aggravates the situation there. gaston is back up to a hurricane.
